I will say this, Kasper rarely put himself in a position where a "mistake" could be made. One of the few times he did he punched the ball into his own net and essentially cost us top 4.

 

Brave and commanding goalkeeping will lead to drops and erros, It will also stop players having free headers at goal from 2 yards. I know which I prefer.

If you go early believe that then god help us

 

The past 2 seasons he was constantly passing the ball several yards Infront of him putting us in immediate danger, terrible distribution, as well as like you said the odd clanger.

 

He was good for us, but by no means did he never make mistakes

I hope he’s having a nice time

Feel like pure shit just want Kasper back x

This is true, I was thinking of of the real obvious clangers that directly lead to goals being scored immediately. I found it hard to blame him too much on mistakes with his passing and footwork because he was being forced to play that way by Rodgers, despite it clearly not being a strong point of his.

As part of his initiation his teammates gave him a good dunking in the bath.

Newcastle away last season when he spilled the ball and Bruno popped it in, got away with one weeks before when he got a finger nail on the ball as the Villa player booted it in.

 

That’s one off the top of my head “non-distribution” related.

 that villa one was ridiculous. Took me back to when Ian Walker went through that weird month where he looked like he'd won a competition to be a Premier league keeper

I don't know what's more wrong with that.

 

Seeing Kasper in that kit?  Or finding out that the former Ligue Un is now, honest to God, "Ligue 1 Uber Eats"?

 

It's the End Times for certain.

....Kasper ate all the pies... what a terrible league name.

I won't deny it, when Kasper signed for Nice I was like "cool, he's a professional" etc without feeling anything. Seeing him now with another shirt and after our first 2 games it really hits home. 😔

So what's the beef he had with Brendan... anyone know?

Just seems it was such a quick exit

My take on it is.. there was absolutely no beef. On the contrary.

 

I think Kasper wanted one more go at European football and saw his chances realistically limited if he stayed. The Nice opportunity appeared (for whatever reason) and out of respect to Kasper, the club let him go. Ok, it worked for the club to get his wages off the P&L but I genuinely believe the club wanted to do right by him. 

 

If there was a difference of opinion between Kasper and BR, it really had nothing to do with Kasper going. Imho of course.

That is to qualify for the conference league 🙈 (presume 2 legs). Maybe Amartey was making him look good.

Should've stay at Leicester and retired at the end of the season or in 2024.

 

This could tarnish his confidence in himself during the latter of his career, a move which he may regret.

Most clubs are used to having a keeper that commands their area. We're so used to it that most of our fans don't even know what it looks like.

It’s the white flag, a tradition often shown by the French!

Wonder if Kasper was keeping the players mentally together and actually he was an awesome captain.

I said at the time that he probably left because he knew what was about to happen and didn't want to be here for when it did (tarnish his reputation/memory).

The Nice game delayed due to fan violence.

15 mins in now and Kasper's been dropped.

This is a terrible decision by the club to allow it to happen.

 

We need his leadership more than ever this season because it is going to be seriously hard work and none is coming from Rodgers.

 

Next year, maybe, this year, No.

 

Poor all round in my opinion.

This prediction seems to have been spot on! That's exactly what has happened.
